history
In 1897, the wealthy private man Adolf Adam von Bruce bequeathed his parents' house in Bad Warmbrunn, on Hermann-Stehr-Straße, to the municipality, on condition that a wood carving school be set up in this house in order to train talented young people to become artists during a four-year apprenticeship they could also earn a living with their skills. Young people should be accepted into this school regardless of their religion or gender. However, older applicants should also have the opportunity to continue their education.
The establishment of this later very well-known wood carving school is due to the personal commitment of the Privy Councilor of Justice Hugo Seydel (1840-1932), long-time chairman of the Riesengebirgsverein and Prussian state parliament member for the Hirschberg district , who succeeded in convincing the Prussian trade minister and securing the financing . The later founding director Christian Hermann Walde developed the concept and plans for the school.
After five years, the school opened on November 7, 1902. The students received theoretical and practical lessons. The most famous class was that of the wood sculptor and medalist Cirillo Dell'Antonio , the fourth director of this school. Dell'Antonio brought the soft South Tyrolean style of his homeland with him, other teachers (including Otto Zirnbauer from 1930–32) came from areas with different forms of expression. Different art movements merged in the works of art that the students and teachers of the Bad Warmbrunn wood carving school produced.
With the end of the Second World War and the expulsion of the German population, the work of the wood carving school also ended, but its building later became the starting point for every city tour.
